Definitions
- the invention relates to a transport container for helium.
- Helium is extracted together with natural gas.
- transport of large quantities of helium is meaningful only in liquid or supercritical form, that is, at a temperature of about 4.2 to 6 K and under a pressure of 1 to 6 bar.
- To transport the liquid or supercritical helium transport containers are used, which are to avoid too rapid pressure increase of helium, consuming thermal insulation.
- Such transport containers can be cooled, for example, with the aid of liquid nitrogen.
- a cooled with the liquid nitrogen thermal shield is provided.
- the thermal shield shields an inner container of the transport container.
- the liquid or cryogenic helium is added.
- the holding time for the liquid or cryogenic helium is in such transport containers 35 to 40 days, that is, after this time, the pressure in the inner container on the
- EP 1 673 745 B1 describes such a transport container for liquid helium.
- the transport container comprises an inner container in which the liquid helium is accommodated, a thermal shield which partially covers the inner container, a coolant container in which a cryogenic liquid for cooling the thermal shield is accommodated, and an outer container in which the
- Inner container, the thermal shield and the coolant tank are arranged.
- US 3,782,128 A shows a transport container for helium, with an inner container for receiving the helium, a thermal shield which is actively cooled by means of a cryogenic liquid and in which the inner container is received, an outer container in which the thermal shield and the inner container are received, and provided on the thermal shield stiffening ring.
